When it comes to bringing a smile to the face of a sick child, few things are as effective as the wet nose and wagging tail of an adorable dog. Thanks to a $200,000 grant from PetSmart Charities of Canada, more patients at BC Children’s Hospital will soon have access to the highly sought-after healing power of pet therapy. The donation, which will be paid over three years, is designed to expand and enhance the Dog Visitation Program at BC Children’s Hospital.
